Abstract

Disclosed is a system and method of black box testing a cybersecurity system. An attack chain or an element of the attack chain is decomposed into constituent primitives. Primitive codes for the primitives are generated by a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model. The primitive codes are assembled into a pseudo-malware. A malware scanning engine is black box tested against the pseudo-malware to determine whether the malware scanning engine can detect the pseudo-malware.
